The Turkish Super League match between Besiktas and Gaziantep will take place at Vodafone Arena on Monday at 10:30 pm IST.
Besiktas, who are currently on an unbeaten streak at the Tupras Stadyumu, are looking to continue their strong run when they host Gaziantep in the tenth round of the Turkish Super Lig. In the previous round, Besiktas suffered a defeat at the hands of the reigning league champions, Galatasaray, while Gaziantep secured their third win in four matches.
Besiktas has had a tough week, with losses to Galatasaray and Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League. Hari Vukas, their new head coach, took charge after Senol Gunes’ departure in October. Vukas is determined to maintain Besiktas’ strong home record in the league, extending their current four-game unbeaten streak in the 2023-24 season and a year-long undefeated run in front of their fans. The team hasn’t lost at home since September 2022 when they fell to Istanbul Basaksehir. Despite the challenge, playing at home provides Vukas with favorable conditions to secure his first win as the coach of the 16-time Turkish champions.
Gaziantep faced early-season challenges, having withdrawn from the 2022-23 campaign due to the Turkey-Syria earthquake. However, recent results indicate an improvement, with three wins in the last four matches. Under Marius Sumudica’s guidance since September 6, they’ve climbed from the bottom of the table. While Gaziantep could drop into the bottom four if they lose in Istanbul and both Basaksehir and Pendikspor perform well, they are in a better position than a few weeks ago. Their struggle to secure wins on the road (four losses in five games) could be a concern, despite a 2-1 victory over winless Samsunspor in late September.
Besiktas probable starting lineup: Destanoglu, Rosier, Colley, Uysal, Zaynutdinov, Fernandes, Hadziahmetovic, Ghezzal, Chamberlain, Rashica, Aboubakar
Gaziantep probable starting lineup: Nita, Kizildag, Djilobodji, Nkoulou, Eskihellac, Soyalp, Jevtovic, Morais, Markovic, Dragus, Maxim
